Mental Health Recognition in Our World Today

By Brianna Mattis 

2020 has plummeted American minds and their will to move forward. This is because our recognition is biased and is challenged on a day-to-day basis. Our reality is that not only Americans, but people all over the world struggle with mental health daily with a pandemic on the rise. 

Factors that play into this 

• Who and what it affects--The impact!
• How different people and genders respond
• How we can move forward with the issue
